Hobart? Didn't he just die? Humphrey's especially notable. However, while I like Garner, I don't think he's that olympian of a figure. Nevertheless, with the quality of Vice Presidents this country's had, I guess he'd have to do. Maybe George Clinton and Joe Biden.

Well, I wouldn't want one at the current location even if it were possible, but for the sake of the thread...

Johannes Gutenberg, a pivotal figure in developing communications technology
Carlo Rosselli, just for being the greatest political FF I could find on short notice
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, architect of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, responsible for humanity's first travels beyond Earth

At least a couple of these could probably be replaced though. This would really take a lot of consideration.

And yes, this is a cosmopolitan protest selection. What divides Americans from non-Americans is nothing more than the government they happen to have entered into a contract with.

None, people shouldn't need nature to be desecrated to be remembered. I also doubt any doubt any of the Presidents on Rushmore would even consent to it if they had the choice. (aside from likely Teddy)

I'd like to switch MLK for Chavez on my list. There needs to be an Hispanic up there, and MLK had some personal flaws.
